Last time you moved something in your car that was too large to fit in your trunk, you probably lamely cobbled together a few insecure knots. (Oh wait, that wasn’t you – that was me.)

Watch the video above or walk through this step-by-step from DIY site Instructables. You’ve got a few different options for how you tie off the knot, but the basics are simple, and it’s an indispensable knot worth adding to your DIY toolkit.
